True or False: “We are not proclaiming ourselves but Jesus Christ as Lord”

What thought do people walk away from our churches with? “That church does cool things” or “Jesus Christ is Lord”? In today’s world of ministry design & branding, which I love, I don’t want 2 Corinthians 4:5 to be untrue of my church. If people walk away with knowledge of how to weave through our church system, but without Jesus, we fail. If I spend more time talking about how cool my church is than I do about Jesus, I fall short of giving them something of eternal value. If I invite people to church, but not to Jesus, I may be just another of millions of sales pitches a person hears along their journey through life.

Way to go. Sounds “old school.” Nah, that’s not it. Sounds right! Thanks for getting the focus where it needs to be: The Gospel of Jesus. He is and must always be the focus. Jesus is the only IT factor that matters.
